Anyone who understands love and relationships knows that though they are separate entities, they depend on each other for sustenance. What makes a healthy relationship? How do you know if the person you're falling in love with would make a good partner? Bringing logic to love, Alex Merritt uses a problem-solving approach to help people discover their best romantic relationships. In this episode, Mike interviews Alex about her journey to becoming the ‘Love Engineer' and how researching and learning about love helped her understand the significance of relationships and marriage. She stresses that love is a ‘force' that binds people and that to succeed in a relationship, you have to grow in your understanding of love. She also talks about dropping your expectations and old thoughts of love relationships and learning to create yours based on your definition of happiness. Highlights Of The Episode: ● Your understanding of love doesn't necessarily grow with experience. To understand love, you have to also unlearn old habits and lessons.● How to find out if a person is good for you as a partner: Write down 25 things you look for in a partner and 25 things the other person is looking for in their partner. If it's a match, you know you two can make it.● What makes a healthy relationship? To be in a healthy relationship, you must drop the encyclopedia of expectations. We attribute so much to a healthy relationship that we forget to see what we truly want from our partners and what they want from us. If you two can make it and are happy around each other, it doesn't matter what knowledge people have passed onto us about love over the generations.● Love isn't just an emotion; it's a force, like gravity. "You don't have to understand gravity to fall, but you do have to understand gravity to fly." In the same way, you don't have to understand love to fall in love; you have to understand love to be in a relationship.Apparel provided by Just Everyday Creativity Get yours today at : https://www.justeverydaycreativity.com/Enter code : DONTQUIT22 at checkout Follow Alex on IG : https://www.instagram.com/alextheloveengineer/Connect with Mehttps://www.instagram.com/therealmikehumes/Listen to the Self Talk Podcast Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-self-talk-experience-podcast/id1597012349 Time Stamps [01:21] Alex Merritt explains how she puts her mechanical engineering degree to action with Love Engineer [02:03] Love Engineer's best relationships (including one that lasted 15 years) and why it believes the first relationship you have is with yourself [04:09] Why building love is the most powerful force on the earth [05:00] Bringing people together to talk about love, marriages, and sex and how our previous generation has seen those topics [05:49] How relationships have progressed like the phone and the need to be intentional about relationships now that we have every idea how it could head [10:02] Society allows men to have only socially acceptable emotional outlets, like anger and arousal.

On this episode of the podcast, we get the chance to speak with Dan Altomare, the Director of Program Operations for BTS Philly. Dan has a deep and thorough knowledge of BTS programming from many different levels and is an invaluable member of the staff.Dan's journey with BTS Philly began in 2015 when he was getting a degree in Sports and Recreation Management from Temple University. As part of his degree, he got an internship with BTS Philly. He thought it would just be a temporary assignment, but was drawn to the mission and satisfaction of working with the student athletes“I think something that's just really unique about Beat the Streets,” said Dan. “That feeling like you really are a part of something bigger than yourself. And the feeling that the work I was doing was important, which not everybody gets to feel, especially not as an intern. There are a lot of interns out there that are grabbing cups of coffee and not really doing anything super meaningful. But I felt like I was making a difference in kids' lives.

Karen Rodriguez is Vice President of Program Operations at Kiss the Ground. Originally from Guatemala, Karen grew up in California and followed a deep love of food into the restaurant industry.

Karen sees connection with nature and the soil as a healing force that can generate healthy ecosystems and communities. She is whole-heartedly aligned with Kiss the Ground's mission of teaching and providing the tools for regenerating soil at the local level, as well as working to shift policy to improve outcomes for food production in the US and abroad.

Welcome to episode 47 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast. This week my guest is Kiran Handa Gaudioso, CEO, United Way of Northern New Jersey and President of United for ALICE. ALICE means asset, limited, income, constrained, employed. We start off the interview talking about boxes to check when it comes to ethnicity as Kiran was born to a Dad who is from India and a Mom who is Irish and grew up in NJ. She shares more on what it is like to be born into a mixed family. Kiran has served as Chief Operating Officer since 2017, following four years as the organization's Senior Vice President of Community Impact and Community Relations. She has overseen strategic planning for how the organization fulfills its mission of improving life for ALICE and those in poverty at the local, state, and national level including, United for ALICE. This research-based initiative with United Ways in 24 states provides a comprehensive study of households that earn above the poverty level, but less than a basic cost of living. At the United Way, Kiran oversees an annual budget of $8.2M and a staff team of 50.  Over the past year, she led the establishment of the ALICE Recovery Fund and the creation of an innovative childcare pilot, United in Care.  She was asked by Governor Murphy to co-chair the Third Sector Advisory Council to work with public sector leaders across the state to develop relief, recovery, and re-imagination strategies to support ALICE.  Prior to joining United Way, Kiran served as interim CEO and Vice President of Program Operations at New Jersey After 3, the public-private partnership that worked to provide safe, quality after-school and expanded learning time programs for 15,000 public school students in New Jersey. During her nine years with New Jersey After 3, Kiran created and managed a professional development system for 6,000 after-school program directors, site managers, and staff. She also oversaw the organization's annual grant application process involving more than 100 after-school programs. Kiran developed programmatic and operational management expertise while serving as director of Mentoring, Volunteerism & Enrichment Programs at Sponsor For Educational Opportunity. There, she led the development of a mentoring program designed to help New York City teens reach their academic, personal, and career potential. Early in her career, as a policy adviser under former Governor James Florio in the New Jersey Governor's Office of Volunteerism, Kiran was instrumental in establishing AmeriCorps in New Jersey. During this episode Kiran and I talk about many different topics including the evolution of her career, the continued passion she has for the incredible work she is doing to help the underserved in NJ, current events, the stress of being a working parent, and the importance of focusing on grace. This was a great conversation about fulfillment and finding balance when it comes to making a difference in the work that you do every day.  Next week my guest is Perry Tuttle.

November marks the start of the northeast monsoon season, raising the risk of heavy rains and flooding in states like Kelantan and Terengganu.
